It's hard, in terms of body image, to be female in our culture. (Men have plenty of struggles with self-image too, but I'll stick with the women's side for now, since that's my area of expertise.) :) Even with "anthems" of "self-love" and being taught that we're beautiful just the way we are, each of us still battles the subconscious belief that we're not pretty enough. And when we try to go below the surface to find our true worth, we face the brokenness and imperfection that plagues all human beings. Great work on this poem.
